Jimi DePriest – Supercollider Workshop

Following their open studio and artist talk, Jimi DePriest will present a Sunday afternoon workshop on SuperCollider—an open-source software environment and dynamic programming language used by musicians, artists, and researchers working with sound for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition.

The 3-hour workshop is intended to provide participants with an introduction to the audio program ahead of producing a practical outcome. The first hour will consist of an overview of SuperCollider, while the second hour will see participants develop their own projects to be tested on a 5-channel stereo system in the third hour.

Please note:

Registered participants will need to bring a laptop with SuperCollider pre-installed to the workshop, along with a laptop charger. The software is free, and download/install instructions will be emailed in advance of the course.

While the workshop doesn’t require prior experience with SuperCollider, we suggest that participants have a competent understanding of their laptop and its OS, as well as a basic knowledge of acoustics and digital audio.
